Re: Office of Equity and Inclusion Administrative Investigation

Dear Ms. Skoglund:

The ASU Office of Equity and Inclusion (OEI) is responsible for investigating complaints brought under
ASU’s policy ACD 401, Prohibition Against Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation. Upon receipt
of a complaint from a female subordinate alleging that you distributed materials and told jokes of a sexual
nature in the workplace, OEI conducted a thorough investigation.

As explained more fully in my June 24, 2019 letter to you, upon completing the investigation and after
considering all of the facts and circumstances, the OEI investigator determined that you violated ACD 401.
Based on a preponderance of the evidence, I concurred with the OEI investigative findings, and concluded
that you violated ACD 401. As a result, I informed you by letter dated June 24, 2019, of my intent to
terminate your employment. However, prior to finalizing that decision, I extended you an opportunity to
meet with Jill Andrews to provide any additional information for my consideration.

I have reviewed the information you provided Jill during that meeting. The information does not alter my
conclusion that you violated ACD 401. For the foregoing reasons, your employment with ASU is
terminated, effective immediately, and you are not eligible for rehire. This concludes the complaint review
process.

Sincerely,

Daniel Dillon
Senior Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer

Your final paycheck will be available seven (7) days following your effective termination date, and can be
picked up in Payroll, which is located at ASU, University Services Building (USB), 1551 S. Rural Road,
Tempe, AZ 85287. Please note because term checks are usually issued out of the pay cycle, they require a
manual warrant, and are therefore not direct deposited. You will be paid your regular rate of pay through
July 9, 2019. Your final paycheck will also include any unused, accrued vacation, which will not exceed
the amount earned for one year of service, as determined by length of service and FTE per SPP 702-01 -
Vacation Leave Benefit. The standard payroll deductions will be withheld from this final check.

Attached, you will find an “Information Sheet for Exiting Employees.” This form provides information
on benefits coverage, vacation, and final wages. If you have questions about your benefits, you may
contact the Office of Human Resources, Employee Service Center (ESC), at 1-855- 278-5081 for further
assistance.

In releasing you from your job duties and responsibilities, effective today, July 9, 2019 you are no longer
authorized to act on behalf of the Enterprise Marketing Hub and the Print and Imagine Lab. As a result,
you should not need to return to the Print and Imaging Lab offices or any of its affiliated locations for
business purposes after today.

Your current ASUrite login with access to the exchange server/Outlook will no longer be active after
today. Please retrieve any personal items from your account that you may need by the end of today.
